WASHING-MACHINE.

Application filed June 2, 1913.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GUSTAF HALLDIN, a citizen of Finland, residing at Rural Valley, in the county of Armstrong and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ashing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in washing machines and its object is to produce a device of this class provided with an oscillating rubbing board disposed above a plurality of rollers; the clothes are fed between the said board and rollers and rubbed clean after which process they pass out into the second water provided in a separate receptacle.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described in the following specification, pointed out in the claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings which form a part of said specification and in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal section in elevation taken on line 11 of Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a plan. Fig. 3 is a cross section in elevation taken on line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a side elevation.

Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several 1 is the tub formed With a receiving mouth 2 and a vent 3 and within said tub a partition 4 extends from the base of the vent to the floor which is lined with metal one end of which is bent into a vertical position as at 5 to form a support for the incline 6 over which the clothes pass as they leave the. tub. In the sides of the tub a crank shaft 7 is journaled upon one end of which a handle 8 is secured by which it is rotated and upon the other end of which a balance wheel 9 is secured outside the tub- To the crank shaft 7 within the tub a pair of links 10, 10 are secured which engage a shaft 11 disposed in bearings 12, 12 se- Specification of Letters Patent.

cured to the top of a fluted scrubbing board 13. Immediately beneath the board a plurality of fluted rollers 1d, 14 14 disposed upon stub shafts 15, 15, 15 are arranged said shafts being journaled in the sides of the tub. A guide roller 16 is arranged on the shaft 17 near the upper roller 14, and a second guide roller 18 is arranged on a shaft near the lower roller 14.

Upon each of the shafts 15 a pulley 19 is disposed over which a belt 20 passes to insurc uniform in vement to said shafts. To the inner face of either side wall of the tub adjustable rolls 21, 21 are secured upon bolts 22 that extend through elongated apertures 23 in that wall so that said rolls may be set for light or heavy garments. Pressure springs 24, 2d terminally secured as at 25 to the tub bear upon the board 13 and are kept in positive position by guide pins 26. When the handle 8 is rotatedthe crank shaft is rotated thus oscillating the board 13 back and forth over the fluted rollers massaging the clothes fed between said board and rollers by the feed roller 16; from the rollers 15 the clothes pass over roller 18 upon the incline 6 and out through the vent 3.

hat is claimed is A washing machine consisting of a tub, a series of fluted rollers journaled on the tub, guide rollers, a board fluted to mesh with the rollers and reciprocate on top thereof. a crank shaft, whereby the rotation of the shaft will reciprocate the board, rollers bearing on the board and having adjustable connection with the tub, and oppositely curved springs for holding the board toward the fluted rollers.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
